How to make accounting and control of Internet traffic

All the time that I use Internet at home, I have no luck with internet connection. Well, in what respect have no luck - it is I always have a lower limit. I always have to monitor closely the volume of traffic. First it was a dial-up traffic (fixed phone), then traffic gprs, but now I have a 3G-connection, which also has a limit of 10 gigabytes. It is quite enough, except in cases of active download from torrents. And not to fly on the extra money and have had to limit myself. Even tried to use the program to compress the traffic, though without much success. But, somehow, did not get me a good program for monitoring Internet connection, the speed and volume of incoming and outgoing traffic, which can be downloaded and used free of charge. But paying licensing program, with the decision of such problems, the network is sufficient - for example, they are available at the site «SecurityLab» and other resources intreneta.

And only recently I have such a program to monitor internet traffic seems to have discovered. It is called «SoftPerfect ® NetWorx» and can be downloaded for free from the official site SoftPerfect or with fayloobmennika. The program is easy to install, and distribution program weighs in at only 1.3MB.

After installing the program shortcut hangs in the system tray (bottom right corner of the taskbar). If you hover the cursor on it, then vyplyvet window which will show what speed is the incoming and outgoing traffic. But it is the default settings you can change to display the amount of traffic (day, month) or the duration of the last connection.

By double-clicking the left mouse on the icon, a window appears with the reports on the use of traffic and the duration of sessions of the Internet connection. There you can see the following reports: general, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, a selective session connections to the Internet, reports on individual users of the computer (if your computer is using more than one person, enter it as different users). Quite a useful statistic, incidentally.

For the same, to make the adjustment and a deeper look at the possibility of the program make the program icon NetWorx click the right mouse button, which will cause the popup menu. In it you will see sections: "Show Graph", "Velocity Measurement", "Statistics", "Quota", "Settings", "Trace route", "Ping", "Connections", "Help», «NetWorx», « Exit. Briefly to loop through it - see what is what.

"Show chart" - a clique appears to graphically display the speed of the current connection to the network. In the setup menu you can change the display of the window (chart type, color, units and so on).
"Measurement speed" - you can start measuring the rate at the current moment.
"Statistics" - at the click of a window with the reports, which were discussed above.
"Quota" - here are setting their own limits connections by clicking on the button "Configure". There you can specify: the type of quota (day, week, month), clock control (without separation or peak), traffic (all, incoming, outgoing), unit (KB, MB, GB), quota (the number in these units traffic). In the main window below indicates the percentage, if any volume of traffic using the program to warn you.
"Settings" - here you can make general settings of the program. Settings pop-up window and graphics speed.
"Trace Route" and "Ping" - I personally do not need. It seems that they can be used to test the speed of communication with the remote computer.
"Connections" - shows all applications can connect to the Internet, which currently operate.
Help - when clicked will open page ofsayta program in your browser.
«NetWorx» - here you can change the interface language from Russian into English or French.
"Exit" - closing the program. That is, counting the cessation of Internet traffic.


Actually the program is very simple and, most importantly, free and effective. For this counter by monitoring the traffic allows, in fact, traffic and save. A small video about the use of the program can see below in the box, YouTube, or download an archive of video and the program included: "Download overview of".
